Limitations on
Important
VS-1680/1880/1824/1824CD
There are functional limitations for the VS-1680/1880/1824/1824CD when a VS8F-3 is installed. These are the
limitations of the systems, not a malfunction of your V Studio.
■ It is necessary to turn the VS8F-3 Use Sw Parameter (p. 6) On when you use a VS8F-3.
It is also necessary to shutdown and reboot your V Studio after turning the VS8F-3 Use Sw (p. 6) On. When you turn
it Off, it is necessary to shutdown and reboot your V Studio again.
■ When VS8F-3 Use Sw Parameter is turned On, your V Studio cannot record or play back
track 15 and 16.
However, it is possible to edit track 15 and 16 even while the VS8F-3 Use Sw is turned On. If you need to record to
or play back sound on track 15/16, turn the VS8F-3 Use Sw Off.
■ Do not install VS8F-3 to slot A of your V Studio while VS8F-3 Use Sw is turned Off.
Both of slot A and slot B will not function if VS8F-3 is installed to slot A while VS8F-3 Use Sw is turned Off.
Turn VS8F-3 Use Sw On when you use VS8F-3.
Please see below illustration regarding the setup.

■ Sound may not come out from your V Studio if you insert an effect into a channel or the
master block without selecting a Plug-In patch.
If no Plug-In patch is selected, a message "NO PLUG-IN" will be displayed on Effect Menu Screen. In this case, select
a Plug-In patch (p. 9) or turn the insert effect off.
■ Screen display will slow down if a tracks is being played while the Plug-In Edit screen is
displayed.
During playback of tracks, the display speed of the level meter or EQ graph will be slow. So there may be a gap
between the sound coming out from your V Studio and the movement of the level meter on the screen. Also, it may
take time to change screens after editing parameters.
During playback of tracks, the system will display a message "Serial Rx Buffer Full" on the Plug-In Information
screen after switching from the Plug-In Edit screen. This means the V Studio screen drawing capacity is full. Press
[ENTER/YES] to go back to the Plug-In Edit screen. If [EXIT/NO] is pressed, the message will disappear.
■ The capacity of the event memory will be decreased when the V studio is updated.
If the system compatible with VS8F-3 is installed, the capacity of the event memory will be decreased as follows. The
event data (phrases, auto mix or markers) created on the system before update may not be loaded perfectly.
VS-1680
VS-1880/1824/1824CD
The system will cut down the events that cannot be loaded automatically.
Please check the number of events on your songs before doing a system update.
How to check the number of events.
1. Set Remain Display parameter (in System Parameter 2 screen) to "Event."
2. Press [SHIFT] + [PLAY(DISPLAY)] buttons several times on the PLAY screen.
You can then check the remaining capacity of current song events.
3. Subtract the remaining capacity from 18,000 for a VS-1680, from 14,000 for a VS-1880/1824/1824CD.
You will find the number of events used on for the current song. Check that capacity of the event memory will not
be shorted after system update.
